This is a large and impressive antique silver gilt snake buckle with turquoise stones representing the scales. The stones are a beautiful rich color, and the gilding is still on the silver of this vintage piece. Eyes are bright red glass.

An exceptional piece, C. 1850-1880.
Condition: Very good.
Size: Width- almost 3 inches. Height- 2 ¼ inches.

This is a very nice silver gilt scarf pin in the shape of a twisted snake with small red stone eyes. Very likely a French piece, as it has a small touchmark with looks like an eagle’s head.
There is a small pin on the inside to prevent the pin from sliding off the scarf, and the piece is hinged on one side. Quite striking when worn with a colorful scarf.
Condition: Fine.
Size: Width-1 inch. Depth- 5/8 inch. Snakes head – 5/8 inch.
